CANDY MATSON, Yukon 28209
* Starring: Natalie Masters * Announcer: Dudley Manlove
Created by: Monty Masters * NBC-KGO San Francisco Sustaining Production
* Natalie Masters was the star player of private eye Candy Matson, YUKON 2-8209, an NBC West Coast show which first aired in March 1949, and created by husband Monty Masters. Monty cast his wife, Natalie Parks, in the title role of this sassy, sexy PI. Her understated love interest, Lt. Ray Mallard, was played by Henry Leff while her assistant & high-falutin' best pal (aptly named Rembrandt Watson) was the voice of Jack Thomas.
Every show opened with a ringing telephone and our lady PI answering it with "Candy Matson, YU 2-8209," then the organ swung into the theme song, "Candy".
Each job took Candy from her apartment on Telegraph Hill into some actual location in San Francisco. The writers (overseen by Monty) worked plenty of real Bay Area locations into every plot.
Candy was bright, tough & fearless. She used her pistol infrequently, but was unintimidated by bad guys, regardless of circumstances. Threats, assaults & even bullets, would usually produce a caustic (but clever) response for this blonde sleuth.
She and Mallard were frequently working the same case, but she usually solved it first. Old Time Radio experts generally agree: this show was the finest of all the female PIs. Although the show ran until May 1951, it never attracted a permanent sponsor (although the first season's final episode ended with the announcement that "Candy Matson Is San Francisco's Most Popular Program"). A total of 15 episodes (including the audition show and a revival) are currently in trading currency.

*EDITOR'S NOTE:
In listening to this captivating program, I discovered that one episode (1951 #000 Temple of the Zodiac) was actually a duplicate of 1951-09-21 #000 The Fortune Teller-Introls Yukon 38309. One other EP (1950 Insurance Crash) is a duplicate of 1950-01-02 #026 NC9-8012.
